Apps won't update! iPod touch 2nd gen!

I have a almost brand new ipod touch and normally when i have wifi little red numbers will pop up about undates for pre-existing apps, & ill just click "update all" and it works. but now, I press "update all" and it starts to work and then a little msg says "Cannot connect to the iTunes store. I have wifi, and the account that i use is correct, but for some reason it wont update. so now i have a little, red, annoying "10".
Please Help!

Are you sure your WiFi is working? Can you contact sites with Safari?
You can always update your apps using iTunes and it is probably a whole lot faster.

  • Why is my app store app gone from my ipod touch 2nd gen

    The app store is now missing from my Ipod touch 2nd gen, I don't know how to get it back, also i was wondering if it is possible to get older versions of some apps , example would be the apple remote app, on my 2nd gen ipod touch, since i cannot update the ios.

    If you can't find it by the Spotlight search then it is likely hidden by Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions.
    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • Update iPod touch 2nd gen to iOS 4.2

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem updating my iPod touch 2nd gen to iOS 4.2. When I connect it to iTunes (version 9.2.1 as I'm still on OS 4.11) and click "Update" it returns an error message saying "This iTunes version is the latest version (9.2.1)" and no update will happen.
    I'm willing to believe this is due to the fact that I'm using Tiger, but surely Apple would want even users of older versions of their software and hardware to update their stuff, wouldn't they? Anyway, I hope there is a workaround for this, as I'm very keen on starting to use Airplay.
    Thx in advance for your help!

    "So basically I need to buy a new computer (as I'm pretty sure my G5 cannot be upgraded to Snow Leopard) in order to update my iPod touch to the latest iOS version?"
    No. Can your computer not handle Leopard?
    "That seems a bit over the top, doesn't it?"
    NO. Quite normal that newer products require newer software. Happens constantly across the entire industry.
    " And essentially this means that Apple is withholding the benefits of iOS 4.2 from what I believe to be a substantial group of Tiger users. Doesn't seem fair, does it?"
    Not even a little unfair at all. It is completely and totally normal, average, everyday.
    You want the latest technology and features, you need the latest equipment and software. Nothing the slightest bit unusual about this.

  • Can't update ipod touch 2nd gen to iOS4

    Hi, I have a old ipod touch 2nd gen. I just did a factory restore and it was restore to iOS 2.2.1. When i click Check for Update in iTune, it says 2.2.1 the current version. How do i get to update the ipod touch to iOS4 ?

    Are you sure you don't actually have a 1G iPod Touch?  See this article to help you determine what generation it is.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1353
    If it's truly a 1G iPod Touch, you can only upgrade to iOS 3.1 using this link to purchase the update.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052
    Otherwise, if you do have a 2G iPod Touch, make sure you are running the latest version of iTunes.

  • Can't Update ipod touch 2nd gen

    I purchased a used ipod touch 2 nd gen 8 gb. ITunes prompts me to upgrade to iTunes to IOS 4.1 from 2.2.1 but I get an error message #1 saying there is a hardware issue.  I have tried all of the things the guide says to do but it still won't work.  Any suggestions?

  • Error code -120 when updating iPod touch 2nd gen 8GB to iOS 4.1

    When i try to update my iPod Touch to iOS 4.1 it gives me an error -120 and it can't backup to the computer.

    [Update and restore alert messages on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275] should be useful. I don't see error 120 specifically but I think the other info might help resolve your problem.
    Hope it helps!

  • Updating ipod touch 2nd gen (8gb) to iOS 4.1

    Hi,
    So i just bought my ipod touch just over a month ago. I was hesitant to update it, to iOS 4.1 for fear it wouldnt work. I finally caved today and went to update it, as i was doing so, it has now said i need to restore. i have done every thing imaginable to troubleshoot it.
    is there someone who can help me figure this out please?
    thanks!
    Cassie

    Sounds like you're on the right track. I'm sure it's frustrating to do the same thing again, but sometimes what didn't work the first time works the second, for some strange reason.
    Assuming you've been through [Troubleshooting security software issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125] without luck, this is what I'd try.
    1)Unplug all USB devices except your keyboard and mouse.
    2) Reboot your computer and turn off all anti-virus, spyware, firewall, etc software. If you're going through a wifi router, turn it off for 10 sec and then back on.
    3)Plug your device into a different USB port than before, not using a hub, and go through the steps of [Unable to update or restore|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808].
    4)If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495] and its related links.
    Hope this helps.

  • I've just updated iPod touch 2nd gen to iOS 5 and it keeps crashing

    It just keeps going back to the Apple logo on the black screen and restarts.
    This can happen before any apps have been loaded, or when, it's quite indiscriminate.
    This renders my iPod a paperweight - please help.

    -Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - You may have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode to allow the restore
    - Also, if you can't fully turn the iPod off (that is required to place the iPod in recovery mode), let the batter fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the reset and restore again.

  • HT1386 ipod touch 2nd gen won't sync with Windows 8 laptop

    Why won't my ipod touch 2nd gen sync with my Windows 8 laptop?  It worked last week, but not since latest Windows update on my laptop. Has anyone found a solution to this?

  • IPod touch 2nd gen won't let me get Apps

    Hi,
    I have an iPod Touch 2nd gen that is operating 4.2.1, and it no longer has App Store, or iTunes. This means that I cannot download any apps or even access music downloads. I have synced with the newest version of iTunes, and the App section is grayed so I cannot access it there either. Therefore, my Touch is reduced to an mp3 player, and I didn't pay for an iPod to just play music! Any suggestions??

    Sounds like Apps have been restricted.  Head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions and make sure they are turned off.

  • IPod Touch 2nd Gen. / iOS 4.2 update, NO AirPlay!!!

    I updated my iPod Touch 2nd Gen. this morning to iOS 4.2, and found that there is no AirPlay icon in ANY of my media apps (including the native players). There is also NO "text search" in Safari. I checked the "About" section on my Touch and it says I am indeed running 4.2. What gives??? Did 2nd Gen. users get left out again???

    I have 2 second generation iPod Touches and they both have Airplay.
    Not sure what you have for Airplay?
    Apple TV?
    Airport Express?
    or some type of compatible powered speakers that can use Airplay?
    You need to have on of the above for the Airplay to show up I believe but not positive.
    I have 3 Airport Expresses hooked up to 3 different stereos throughout the house and the garage.
    When I open up my playlists and choose a song to play, then I am given a choice of what Airport Express I want to play to after hitting the Airplay button on the right of the volume bar.
    So, mine works.
    Not sure why yours isn't.

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen and have ios 4.2.1. apps that will not download, higher ios version needed

    I have an ipod touch 2nd gen and have ios 4.2.1. I recently tried to download some apps and received a message that said I need a higher ios version (like 4.3 or higher). I know there used to be apps that worked before but I deleted them. When I tried to re-download them again they say they won't work. Options?
    Thanks

    Import the older versions to the iTunes library from your computer or a backup of it, or buy a newer device, or give up.
